Instinctively? Of course, but you knew that, Siggy.

Rationally? That's a different ball game altogether.

Instinctively? Maybe but I'm not in the least bit afraid of death. Seen too much of it and lost so many already that it really doesn't matter. What will be , will be. Nothing to be afraid of.

Duty is heavier than a mountain, Death is lighter than a feather.

Yes. People have an innate instinct to survive. The fear of death and the unknown are the underlying basis of most religions.
